Decade old FE....still good?

[Nick Norman]

I have got myself some out of date fire extinguishers from work, Some ending in 2015 and some from 2006. Is it still good if it is over 10 years old? Will it be safe?

One is a 5kg black FE, last date is 1986! Think i will give this one a miss.

Now just need to get all the other co2 kit.

Just over 10 years should be fine. The last couple I used were manufacture date of 2005. Fish and plants were fine.

You wont get a black one refilled now anyway... it would need to be swapped out.. they are red now.
